incriminating articles including a loaded country made pistol etc. were recovered from the accused who were caught at the place of occurrence.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that from the contents of the FIR itself, it would transpire that the petitioner was neither arrested at the spot nor any incriminating article recovered from his possession.

The petitioner is in custody since 8.7.2025 and undertakes to cooperate in the investigation/trial.

The application for bail is opposed by learned A.P.P. for the State.

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the allegation against the petitioner in FIR, the material that has transpired in course of investigation as is evident from the order of the learned trial Court, no incriminating article having been recovered from the petitioner’s possession, the petitioner having remained in custody for 6 months since 8.7.2025 and chargesheet having been submitted in the case, the Court directs the petitioner to be enlarged on bail in connection with Agamkuan P.S.
